Trips Triple Option
TRIPS MIDLINE WHITE RT
Trips Vert Right.
The Quarterback will throw the ball to the Middle Receiver here.
The Offensive Line slides away from the call, both receivers run fades, the Playside A runs a vertical because the Middle of the Field is closed, and the B-Back blocks the 1st threat off the Playside Tackle.
The Quarterback 5-step drops and throws the ball to the Middle Receiver.
Trips Right, Vert Right. This takes advantage of one-high safety defenses and forces the safety to declare himself.
Trips Right, Vert Right Backside. This is designed to isolate a weak cornerback on a wide receiver. The ultimate one-on-one matchup is right here.
